Mr. Speaker, I understand that my hon. colleague had more to say. I hope that in what is remaining is a plan to reduce the prices.
We will support the government in giving Canadians a bit of relief, but this relief does not deal with the underlying problem that is causing the crisis, which is that food costs have gone up and continue to rise. A family that is skipping meals because it cannot afford food is not a family that is buying a $1.5-million house right now.
This is the crucial step that I have to ask the government to take: Every lever imaginable must be pulled. Why is the government not committing to remove the hidden taxes on the cost of food, such as on farm equipment, fertilizer, shipping and fuel standards, which are all things we have laid out and have given to the government in a neat package with a bow as a course of action?
Canadians are struggling. Where is the solution?
